The sophomore career awareness program is a three step project aimed at helping students develop an "overall picture of what their career potential might be," says Dorwin Lovell, BMCC counse lor and one of the coordinators of the project. The first step of the project is to test the sophomores on their interests, abilities and attitude's. The test results are evaluated in terms of career potential in the interpretive phase. The third phase of the program is for the sopho mores to visit the college and meet with BMCC instructors. College instructors will talk with the students about course requirements for a college degree as well as career op portunities in the students' chosen field. Additionally, the THE 'Econo-Eating- Bv MOMNK STROKDK-KTKBRINS Have you succumbed to that bright bunch of sunshine, yet? I always know when spring is here, the daffodils are offered in the produce departments and they do seem so cheerful and bright. Especially if the weather has been rainy or dark, they talk their way into my grocery cart. It's not quite as tempting, this year, be cause my new husband has lots of delightful daffodils in the yard, but they still call to me. This brings up one of the general principles about the cost of food. Not everything vou buy at the grocery store is food. A couple of years ago, I was standing in line at the grocery store behind a woman who was complaining about the cost of food. She was loudly talking aboaut how small the sack was that held $20 worth of food. As I looked the things over in her cart. I noticed a pair of panty hose, some light bulbs, some wine and cat food all part of her food budget. More than 20 percent of the money spent in grocery stores isn't spent on food at all. It goes toward soap, paper goods, magazines, health and beauty aids and household cleaning supplies. Even such items as pet food, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks can't really be considered food. One-stop shopping is very convenient and sometimes less expensive than going from store to store. It's very helpful to me to pick up that pair of panty hose I need when Alcoholism Planning Committee to meet The local Alcoholism Plan ning Committee for Morrow County will meet Thursday, April 14. from 7 to 9 p.m.. at the Columbia Basin Confer ence Room in Heppner. The purpose of this commit tee is to provide for the involvement of interested citi zens in planning local alcohol ism services, said a com mittee spokesperson. The agenda will include identify ing needs for alcoholism ser vices in the area and review ing the mental health plan for providing for these services to Morrow County. instructors will advise the students as to the high school classes they should take in preparation for a college pro gram, Groat said. The sophomore career awareness program at BMCC was funded this year by a $7,984 grant awarded by the Northwest Area Foundation of Saint Paul. Minn. The grant was one of 14 awarded throughout the United States. The program will continue next year, according to BMCC Dean of Students Pat Lough ary. through funding made available in the college bud get, "The budget committee recognized the sophomore project as one of the best cooperative programs we've had with area high schools," Loughary noted.

There's even a brand or two that I find is cheaper at the grocery store than anywhere else, but I try to remember that the whole bill isn't just for food. If you're shopping at one of the stores equipped with elec tronic scanners, your grocery tape is very complete, giving you the information you need to separate out your non-food items. It is interesting to add them up and see how much you're actually spending on non-foods. If the cost is very high you might look for ways to cut down on the use of some of these items. One thing we do at my house is use cloth napkins. I'm a needlepoint addict and made napkin rings with our initials on them so we can use the napkins more than once unless it's a really messy meal. My new family has had some adjusting to do to this system. My own kids just assumed that was the way everyone did it or at least that they had to accommodate their mom who is a little strange about wast ing paper. Another thing you can do is check the unit pricing tag on the shelves. Paper products can be especially difficult to decide which is a bargain. Some stores will give a dis count on case lots of such items, too, so if you have storage space it might be worthwhile to shop in quantity. Remember, it may be handy to buy your baking pans, mops, shampoo and even plants along with your food but it can't really be consi dered as the cost of feeding Bill Kuhn.

We certainly must learn to look at many facets, not just the negative comments produced in maga zines, ads and television. Lungs Heparin is an important anti-coagulant. It is used to prevent blood coagulation during operations and to pre vent blood clots within the circulatory system which can lead to heart attack. Heparin is also used as a gangrene preventive in cases of frost bite and as a burn treatment. Pancreas Insulin is perhaps the best known pharmaceutical de rived from cattle. It is used to treat diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes). There are five mil lion diabetics in the U.S. alone and 1.25 million of them re quire insulin daily. It takes the pancreas from 26 cattle to provide enough insulin to keep one of these diabetics alive for one year. Chymotrypsin is an enzyme used to cleanse wounds and to remove dead tissue where ulcers and infections occur. It can be used in the treating of serious injury or following surgery when localized in flamation and swelling result due to excess fluids. Glucagon helps counteract insulin-shock resulting from an overdose of insulin or when a low blood sugar episode is caused by alcoholism. It has a specialized use in the treat ment of some psychiatric dis orders.

Parathyroid Glands Parathyroid hormone is used to compensate for the human body's inability to na turally produce this hormone.

Thyrotropin (TSH) is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland. It is used as a disgnostic tool to determine if a patient is suffering from hypothyroidism caused by an enterior pituitary failure or by complete failure of the thyroid gland. (In the event of anterior pituitary failure, the drug will stimulate proper functioning of the gland.) Vasopressin is used to con trol cases of excessive urina tion or in testing of renal functions. It is also employed to stimulate proper movement of material through the intes tinal tract following opera tions and to dispel "gas shadows" for abdominal x-rays.
